5 Ways To Make A Hit With Grilled Cheese

Just What Is Grilled Cheese?

In case you're wondering a grilled cheese is a very basic sandwich made with one or more types of cheese and various types of bread. Most also contain some type of spread like mayonnaise or butter. I love Grilled Cheese made on Sourdough Bread. It gives the Grilled Cheese a wonderful flavor.

Grilled Cheese is most commonly made by putting cheese between two slices of bread and then you fry it in butter or margarine in a skillet or frying pan. Some people want mayonnaise added to the sandwich before it is fried while other people want nothing to do with the mayonnaise. A few people use mustard in its various forms. And a few people like to add strips of crisp bacon to the sandwich before they fry it in butter or margarine until its golden brown on both sides. Flipping it once or twice while its cooking to make sure you don't burn it.

Grilled Ham And Cheese Along With Serving Suggestions.

Here in the United States a very popular sandwich is a Grilled Ham And Cheese Sandwich. I like to make Grilled Ham And Cheese Sandwiches out of very thin sliced baked ham, American Cheese, yellow mustard on one side of the bread and mayonnaise on the other side of the bread.

You really should make it on sourdough bread if at all possible and it should be fried in a skillet in butter or margarine. You want the pan hot enough to grill the sandwich but not burn the sandwich. I serve this particular sandwich with a couple of dill pickle spears and potato chips. Sometimes I serve homemade potato salad with them. And people always love them. Cut the sandwich up in four quarters and keep the sandwich together with frilled toothpicks. Pile potato chips in the middle and serve the potato salad on the side.
